Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
We used to love riding in the rain (we didn't get as much as some of you) and looked for muddy lots but even with the bobbed fenders on our StingRay's they would get clogged with mud so off the fenders came, we didn't mind getting muddy (kinda like these guys with a big 4 wheeler that wont get it dirty), as far as cruiser middle weight frames/ S2's combo they didn't worry about clearance because it was a fenderless Cali/Spit/Klunker/Cruiser and fendered models used S7's and they probably didn't want to tool up to make S2 frames the stopper making years earlier but back to the original topic I just like the way a OG spitfire/Cruiser looks and if its raining bad I ride a bike that came with fenders.
